Hey guys I'm Jake. I'm a friend of Bionic Onion and bigrubbersoffroad and have also met Digger aswell through Jon. I'm currently going to be picking up a 93 Tracker that Bionic Onion (jon) was mentioning about as a parts car and I'm going to start working on it. Its the 8 valve thats running on 3 cylinders right now. My question is can you guys give me a brief rundown on what might be causing that so I can get her running strong once as soon as possible and begin on the more fun projects that these little rigs can do =). Appreciate the responses guys :D

Probably has a burnt valve. You will probably need to rebuild or replace the head.
It could be an electrical problem. Cap, rotor, wires, or plugs.

Get a factory service manual too (buy or borrow one). if it has a "check engine", that may help diagnose the problem.
Could be a major problem, could be minor.
My initial diagnosis steps would be ...
1) Compression check
2) Eliminate any/all "check engine" conditions
3) Check suspect plug for fire, fouling, etc
The 8v is actually nice in it's simplicity, so I suspect you'll discover the prob soon enuf.
